Black brings country hits to Franklin

Country singer Clint Black will perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin.

Black has long been heralded as one of country music’s brightest stars. Black’s many talents have enabled him to transcend genres to become one of the most successful artists in all the music industry. To date, Black has written, recorded and released more than 100 songs, a benchmark in any artist’s career. His 1989 critical and fan favorite debut, “Killin’ Time,” was awarded triple platinum and named one of the greatest 100 albums by Country Music Television. With more than 20 million albums sold worldwide, Black’s continued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of country music traditions and his humble gratitude for being an important part of music history.
